PISCATAQUA RIVER - LITTLE BAY
General / Bridges / Removal
Demolition activities have commenced to the General Sullivan Bridge across Little Bay, mile 0.1, between Newington and Dover NH and will continue through March 31, 2027. Work trestles have been constructed adjacent to the bridge from both banks, reducing the navigable channel to a width of 160 feet. A temporary work platform will be suspended from the bridge over the navigable channel on or about April 1, 2026. This work platform will not reduce the vertical clearance of the General Sullivan Bridge further than the clearance of the adjacent Spaulding Turnpike Bridge. Work over the navigation channel is complete. Work hours for this project are 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Mariners can contact on-scene project managers via VHF-FM channels 13/16 or by calling (207) 841-1902. Mariners are advised to exercise caution when transiting this area.
